Storage Instructions

Product Features	Matcha is a fine powder, and as such, it is susceptible to light, oxygen, humidity, heat, and ambient odors, causing its color (green) to fade and its flavor and aroma to diminish quickly. To maintain quality, "light-blocking," "airtight sealing," "low temperature and low humidity," and an "odor-free environment" are key.
Suitable Container	An opaque, airtight container (screw-top can with an inner lid) is recommended. Handle quickly to avoid excessive outside air exposure when opening and closing, and absolutely do not insert wet tea scoops or spoons. Preparing a separate "working can" (approx. 20-30g) to transfer only the amount needed for immediate use will help minimize deterioration of the main can.
Temperature / Humidity	Unopened: Refrigeration (5-10°C) is standard. Freezing is also possible for long-term storage. After opening: Refrigerated storage is safe. If opened immediately after taking it out, condensation can moisten the powder, so leave it sealed at room temperature for 1-2 hours until the can's surface temperature matches the room temperature before opening. Humidity: Low humidity (目安60% or less). Odor transfer is common in refrigerators, so take measures against odors by using double sealing (aluminum bag + can) or a zipper bag + can. Avoid proximity to strong-smelling foods (pickles, spices, etc.).
Best Before	After opening, it is best to consume within 10-14 days, and at the latest, within 3-4 weeks. For bulk purchases, portion it out, only access the working can, and keep the remainder sealed and refrigerated (or frozen). When using frozen portions, ensure complete condensation prevention (return to room temperature before opening).
Expiration Date	Indicated on each product package
